Just relaxing with paper and coffee after a nice Sunday roast. Unfortunately made the mistake of looking at the "other site" for some sensible dialogue on expectations/comment etc. for next week.
Seriously, I think someone needs to ring 999 to get an ambulance over to the poster on that new thread.
Not only that but I would cautiously say that some fairly nasty comments made abut some excellent posters here bordering on being libellous has just been spouted off by said person.
Rowka, tillywhiz to name but two; might like to take a look.
Really over the top and staggeringly vindictive comments.
Back to my paper.

DLA Piper tops list for global M&A deal volume for tenth straight year.
8 January 2020 Newsroom article
For the tenth consecutive year, DLA Piper was the highest ranked legal advisor in the world for M&A deal volume, according to Mergermarket's league tables. The firm was involved in 747 transactions worldwide, valued at approximately US$63 billion.

Simms45, I've been adding to EUA all the way from 3p; average about 5p now and current SP 20p so you can see it's been pretty good. Yes, very invested although getting a bit nervous, especially when many posters state things like £3 a share. Frankly 50p would be pretty good so there is a good chance of 100% still there as a minimum plus the big news of a buyout could literally be days away but is certainly fairly imminent. however, remember I am only recouping my lost "millions" but at least this has helped my decision to "switch over" at same price t KEFI from HUR as the multiple profits on EUA has cushioned the disaster that is HUR. I feel KEFI has a bright future so yes will be adding here and there and when EUA sells up I certainly will be buying in here at KEFI, say to top up to about 1 million shares but probably not more (ha, that's if still in 2p range though)

Hi slugworth. In response, HUR, yes, lucky if you got out earlier or at lower loss. Classic case [mistake] of falling in love with a share ....and the story. I just cannot believe it as I have lost tens of thousands on oilers then HUR blew up completely last week but EUA rescued me and although I wasn't going to "brag" (as alluded to in my first post here) and as I have lost so much on oilers over 20 years, I though some perspective might be interesting if only to show how, if one is patient, once in a blue moon something comes along to truly be life changing. The point is that making over £1million (yes and without phoning a friend or 50/50) on EUA I have actually only recovered the loss of the £1million or so that I made then lost in all but an hour or so on Cairn Energy back in 2000/01 approx. including the disastrous oilers that followed. Memories I would rather forget. So, really you could argue I have only almost broken even which is nothing to show off about. 20 years of stress added, was it worth it and will I lose out on EUA entirely. That is the question as the big deal there is imminent but not there....yet!!! My heart (or brain) can't take much more and guess what; I am 70 tomorrow. Time to retire I think but I've been saying that for last 20 years too. lol. Incidentally I didn't quite come clean. I forgot (honest guv) I did buy 50k of shares in KEFI for 1.9p but really had forgotten about it as in ISA and don't really check much there. I now, on average, with today's multiple buys have a grand total of £166 profit. yee ha.

Thanks to all for welcome and info. Yes I did not do this on a whim. Had done DD and realise funding and the obvious point that nothing is certain but balanced against HUR, as stated, seemed crazy at the time and in many respects to be out [of HUR] when it hardly could go any lower but reasons given was why I did it. My foray into non oilers like Eurasia (EUA) as an example [not a plug] , helped my decision too. Palladium and a few other PGM's along with Chesterfield (CHE) started to attract me away from oil is the point and without sounding off a very large trumpet I have to say that EUA alone has taken me to dizzying heights of success (so far) and I won't be so rude as to mention the profit made there (if I sell even now) but it has wiped out my entire losses for 20 years (AFR [criminal BOD's] , BLVN to name just two....and the rest which, combined, annihilated me) and might even close on a phenomenal and life changing profit (nail biting time] but the point here is that I agree with other posts in that I just feel oil is not the one to be in anyway when added to my other criteria, for now. I bet HUR rockets now. Anyway, deed done and KEFI has great prospects I think although I guess, with some others, maybe, that I am not totally comfortable being in or near Saudi Arabia or anywhere in that part of the world. We shall see. Thanks again to all for replies.

Just thought I would say hi to Kefi-ites as new to this stock. I have had a disastrous foray into the world of the "gem of an oiler" that was supposed to be HUR over past few years and lost almost everything so frankly, after deliberation, made what I hope will be a sensible, pragmatic decision (albeit very hard), due to the SP's being virtually the same on both HUR and KEFI. The question I asked myself was; Will HUR recover (if not going to zero completely) from say 2.6 p quicker than KEFI from there respective, current SP . Dreadful as the loss was to take I made the decision to sell out of HUR as many might argue that with HUR on its knees there's not much else to lose but I will feel better if nothing else if KEFI gets to 5p "before" HUR hence several, 30k, 50k and 60k BUYS from me this morning. Fingers crossed. Now all I need is someone (de-ramper I guess) to tell me what a dreadful mistake I made! lol. Anyway, the die has been cast.

Indeed Onassis. It seems no need to buy at 23p when almost guaranteed to drop to 22p. Having said that I topped up a few days ago at 23p and if I had watched the trend more carefully I would have saved a penny. But, hey ho, with this going to higher multiples of the low 20p's , so what. Remember 3p, 7p during suspension and frankly where it is now is pretty darned good considering we have no idea what the final sale price will be. Here's to a bit of Friday FOMO tomorrow for the weekend and under 30p a distant memory too by next week.

Sorry 22.18. Typo or wishful thinking.

Topped up 4000 shares at 20.18p with ii, no problem at all. Went through on first attempt at market price.

bellers...and I bet you or anyone won't be able to spell hydroglifericks ....hic.....by then either.

Biddwolf. in answer to your question, yes I went for market price and was surprised as it was well below the "supposed" Ask ; 24p to 23.3p. I try a bit of both but most times I just hit the market button to test the waters, so to speak.
Damn, I now have a greasy mouse and keyboard as just finished eating a very buttery BLT for lunch which melted befor I could even close the sandwich up. oh well, might be able to afford a new computer soon.

I just topped up 30,000 shares at 1117 when Ask hit 24p but got them (shown as a Sell) for 23.3p. Nice little message from ii to say how kind they were to improve my order by £210. lol.
Only mentioning this as it just shows again even when the Ask was at 24p I was getting a quote much nearer to the Bid but as always, it immediately dropped. Typical. Always happens to me but hey ho, its only going one way over next few weeks/months?

brookers - yes thanks. I had a few replies so get it now (green box etc). Funnily enough I haven't filtered, obviously (hence why I didn't know what the green box was) as some posters' comments helps pass the time whilst awaiting final outcome of the EUA story. It's easy to see the ones that have hidden agendas and reading them provides mild amusement and can be ignored just as easily. I would guess that, in most cases, it's not worth replying either as they get fuelled by the responses and only seems to start a longer thread riddled with vitriol. Whilst here I have gained a great deal from the informed posters and have to say I have topped up to somewhat higher levels than normal by the excitement here. Nervous but excited at the possibilities (say, 50 p + conclusion) and, in finishing, look forward to positive outcome soon so none of us here will need to use the green box anyway.

oh right. It was just doing my head in not being able to see a little green bin. I won't ask any more silly questions on this subject. Maybe I will filter myself to see. lol.
Thanks for all replies.

montanacowboy - ahhhh. thanks for that. derr to me! I guess it's because I assumed there really was a little green filter bin or box. Dare I ask why it's called green box" now as there isn't one there or is it some form of euphemism?

ok I can't take it any more. I have searched everywhere and I cannot find this elusive "green box". Where is it please; more importantly - what is it? I am assuming some form of filtering system?

Why laser when you can have RLE (lens exchange). No zapping and you get reading and distance all in the same op. i.e. no specs ever again for anything. OK I am biased but frankly when considering the two why zap your eyes when you can just change the lens; some as a normal cataract op (15 mins). Anyway, always worth reading up on options but if you can get it cheaper or free; even better, then go for RLE. I had my procedure at Optical Express with 1st class Harley Street office of theirs from start to follow-up. The procedure took place in Westfield Shopping centre, Hammersmith so went shopping half an hour later. One eye then wait a week and back for number two eye. Brilliant.

Apologies. Refractive not Retractive. Couldn’t see what I was typing. Lol.

Without wishing to turn this BB into a long discussion on eye surgery I had to put my penny’# worth here as I have had what is known as RLE which is Retractive Lens Exchange. In its simp,est form it’s a kind of cataract op but more. I never need glasses and would never consider laser anyway. RLE means my eyesight is better than 20/20 and apart from using a cheap £1/£2 pair of glasses from a Poundland, for very, very close up work like fiddling with tiny screw jobs ( eg replacing screws, say, in a watch by way if a simple example, I never need glasses at all again. About £2k an eye admittedly but if you can afford it, it was brilliant. Can read, see distance and no specs ever again. I, for one, highly recommend. Check it out on internet. Sorry, just had to reply.

ha eggshell. great minds and all that. I was still typing. Glad I'm not the only one who got O level divinity (as it was called in those days)!
